  It just suffers the normal suckiness and "behind the times"-ness of
all commercial OSs.  I've run it in production many times, and I've
been using it on my desktop for about 2.5 years with great results.
There's nothing really *wrong* with it.  A lot of people just can't
rest unless they've got something to be all up-in-arms about, and if
there's nothing legitimate, they'll come up with something.
